Why do these new type of fans of anime/manga just blindly praise even when lot of modern stuff is just flat out bad? I noticed this mainly with the crowds that use to love western stuff like /co/fags but fell out of it for whatever reason and the western stuff they liked was only mainstream shit but they don't like it now because of whatever buzzword and when they get into manga or anime it's also just mainstream new shit. Like they always talk about how good anime and manga is but never name titles too but is it just some weird self hate of their own stuff so they have to act like everything amazing from Japan? I miss when people were more critical about anime/manga I know the old fans were really harsh sometimes but I feel like we over corrected now and everyone too soft besides people who have been fans since they were like kids which it's also weird so many adults are getting into anime and just watch stuff aimed at children/teenagers. It feels like you can be critical about anime anymore because of these people just saying you hate anime or whatever. People are also weird cultists for some shows/manga like One Piece fans just feel like a fucking psyop with how they think it's on the level of actual great works when it's just a safe kids book.
>>285973193When I watch an anime from the late 00s or early 10s and try to look through the threads to see what anons thought of it at the time, I always have trouble finding the threads, because people didn't use subjects, people didn't mention the name of the show in the OP, people made random blogpost threads that died with 0~2 replies, etc etc.And I wonder if maybe the modern general-thread culture is actually good.And I conclude that it is not, things were better back then, and I'm wrong for even trying to look through archives because 4chan posts should be ephemeral.
Welcome to Nobody General: CS 1.6 Edition — the thread where the graphics are crusty, the aim is godlike, and everybody swears they were global elite before ranks even existed. This is pure LAN café nostalgia: de_dust2 24/7, mics screaming, flashbangs ruining friendships, and some dude named xXSniperGodXx camping tunnels like it’s his full-time job. Nobody walks through the server like a silent admin, dropping headshots with a pistol while everyone else argues about who’s hacking.Post your best 1.6 memories, rage moments, clutch stories, and legendary binds. In this stable, the AWP is sacred, the knife round decides honor, and if you don’t type “gg” at the end you’re officially a terrorist.The time is now

>>5282403194chan's metrics are declining in general, why do you think they got rid of IP counters? Most of the threads and posts nowadays are schizos spamming the same thing over and over. 4chan has no relevance any more, in large part because of the election tourists who've destroyed the site's culture over the past decade. We have no influence, no creativity, no humor. We are destined to rot away until the server costs finally outweigh the generated ad revenue and hiro pulls the plug.

Will things ever get better?
This place is so disingenuous and disgusting. Just a bunch of seething faggot losers hiding behind sardonic snark that cant even create memes anymore. This isnt my 4chan anymore, everyone with a brain and creativity has fucked off, its so obvious.

>>732751952I dont let ppl know I use 4chan. Rather hang myself then make a friend on this site. I get bored at work and like to see what the usual retards are up to. Pretty sure the other people just try to filter this. But you troons are really good at avoiding filters. Reminds me of those pederasses that would clog up this board with their AI gens. I swear your the same people that made those threads.
You get to be 17 againBUTIt's the current year2026would you do it?You have whatever networth you had when you were 17Same with degrees, living circumstances etcYou do retain your mind though
i liked the overall culture of the 2000s, including the internet culture. there was always shitposting and sarcasm, but look at old forums/websites/4chan threads: they're at least sincere. now, everyone is in this whole irony-poisoned Twitter/politics mode, and i just find it exhausting.so yeah, good question OP, but the answer is no. i miss my youth, but i wouldn't be getting MY youth back.
